Lookaroundyou.Nomatterwhereyouare,whatyouwillseeistheevidenceoftheactivityofEngineeringandtheBuilt Environment professionals. We often take for granted our roads, bridges, buildings, cities, cars, aeroplanes, fuels, energy,financialsystems,media,VR,communicationssystems,medicaldevices-butnoneofthesewouldbepossible withoutthese professionals.
TheUniversitypridesitselfonproducinggraduatesofthehighestquality,whoreflectthecountry’sdiversityintermsof race,class,ethnicity,sexualorientationandgender.AtWitswefocusongraduatingyoungpeoplewhohavethecritical andanalyticalskillsrequiredtocontributetodevelopingSouthAfrica’seconomy,butalsohavethepracticalknow-how andleadershipqualitiestomakethemequivalenttothebestintheworld,and capableofattainingleadershippositions anywhere theychoose.
Developmentof ScarceSkills
The production of Engineering and the Built Environment graduates in South Africa has to increase to allow us to respondtothechallenges posed bythe NationalDevelopment Planandthe urgentneed torenew the economy.
Avastlyexpandedlocaldevelopmentofhigh-level,scarcetechnicalanddesignskillsisthereforeanationalimperative. TheWitsFacultyofEngineeringandtheBuiltEnvironmenttakesitsresponsibilityinproducingskilledyounggraduates very seriously, and we encourage our graduates and their families and friends to partner with us to improve our facilities, and in so doing play an active role in ensuring the best possible future for all.
